He is a rogue rascal that everyone is afraid of.
Under the protection of the western rule of the weak, the winner is the king, he is like a lion king hidden in the jungle, calm and reserved, but arrogant.
As long as it's the prey he's eyeing, no matter how strong the guardian is, he can't retreat; as long as it's the decision he makes, no matter how close his partner is, he can't be shaken.
He is Ben Wade.
In the West, his name is a banner. In the eyes of his partners, his status is irreplaceable.
Cruel, cunning, indifferent, ruthless, these are the adjectives that people in the world are suitable for such a person of status.
indeed. But under these high-sounding masks, he has feelings similar to ordinary people, and he has a heart full of expectations. This fact is not acknowledged by anyone.
His cherished brother Charlie couldn't understand him.
Ben saw his own shadow on the eagle that spread its wings in the wind. He wanted to use the pen to remember the touched memory, but Charlie was beside him reminding the situation over and over again. Therefore, Charlie will be the most loyal subordinate, but he will not be able to become a brother and sister who will build the dream together and be proud of the world. He could only sigh in loneliness.
The bar girl he admired couldn't agree with him.
When he made a seemingly random invitation to jump out of the window together and run wild to Mexico to enjoy his freedom, the barmaid thought it was nothing more than crazy talk. How could a character like him go to the end of the world with a woman who met by chance. When she made the most normal judgment, she failed to realize the simplest desire of a prodigal son who longed for a home.
He tried countless times, but never got a response. The heart, which is more sensitive and fragile than anyone else, stretches out its tentacles to touch the warmth again and again, but the world throws the cold reality back to him.
A big man should be golden, perfect and powerful. This is the truth. This is how the world is defined, and how the world thinks it is. Therefore, there should be no such thing as a humble expectation.
He is good at figuring out people's hearts and using them to achieve his goals, but he can't convince his heart to give up.
The mutual understanding and mutual trust he seeks will never come to fruition. Even if he knew it, he was stubbornly reluctant to believe it.
His own mother, for the sake of his own future, left the burden of himself. Let him put the Bible in his hands when he first feels the taste of betrayal. How ironic!
So he thought: as long as he is stronger than anyone else, it is possible to grab everything he wants. He used this as a driving force to get to this day step by step, and his heart became cold and strong, but he couldn't help but look forward to something in a corner.
The wound has been scarred, but the scar is shocking.
Water can carry a boat and capsize it. What made him great will one day become a deadly weapon to destroy him.
When he was helpless and desperate, Bale's appearance subverted the logic he was trying to force himself to accept. He didn't understand why this man, who was obviously lured by profit and feared to die, insisted on bringing an unrelated person to justice. In the end, he understood that it was a person's sense of justice as a soldier, and more importantly, it was the dignity and pride of a father.
Maybe he was just tired and wanted to stop the march. Perhaps he was content, and in the shadow of death, he gained Bale's trust. Despite Bale's confidant behavior, he murmured "why tell me". His heart was already overflowing with gratitude, so he resolutely decided to fulfill his hero's fantasy, and also fulfilled his dazed and lonely pursuit for decades.
But persistent Charlie ruined his last wish.
Before embarking on the road of redemption, after all, you still have to dye your hands with blood. This time, there should be no jailbreak ever again.
Maybe one day, people in later generations will be lucky enough to find his sketchbook, and they will be surprised to find another different Ben Wade, and his expectations of being sealed.
